- CB750 Hornet E-Clutch priced at Rs 10.49 lakh, XL750 Transalp at Rs 13.20 lakh
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has expanded its premium BigWing portfolio with the launch of E-Clutch-equipped versions of the CB750 Hornet and XL750 Transalp. While the core mechanical package remains unchanged, the addition of Honda's E-Clutch technology marks a significant upgrade in rider convenience. Alongside this update, both models see a notable price revision.
Honda E-Clutch Technology Explained
Honda first introduced its E-Clutch system at EICMA 2024 across its mid-capacity parallel-twin lineup. The technology allows riders to shift gears and even come to a complete stop without manually operating the clutch lever. This system is aimed at reducing rider fatigue, especially in urban traffic, while retaining the engagement of a manual gearbox. Following the NX500, which debuted this feature in India last month, the CB750 Hornet and XL750 Transalp are now the latest models to adopt this system.

Meanwhile, the XL750 Transalp E-Clutch now costs Rs 13.20 lakh, compared to its previous price of Rs 11.81 lakh.
